WASHINGTON, D. c. July 2O.-Assistant
Secretary Maynard to-day gave q hearing
to 4 representatives Of importers Of su,
matra tobacco and Of growers Of domestic
leaf tobacco in regard to the general ques.
tod Of the proper method Of determining
tho dutable value OF Sunatra tobacco
Mr.. Stroder, of New York, representing
the importers, asked that the present reg
ulstions of tho Department requiring q
close inspection Of all bales be modified
go that all packages which do not contain
rs per cent Of wrappers be admitted at
the rate Of IS cents per pound. y
Il Mr., Sachenbach, Of New York, repre-
senting the Leaf Tobacco Board Of Trade,
urged The Department to insist on its for
mer ruling that Sumatra tobacco wrap.
pers, no matter. bow packed, shall be as.
sorted and made to pay duty at the rate
Of seventy.fve cents per pound. Mr.W NJ.
Hensel, representing domestic growers,
contended that Congress intended to i'm
pose tax Of seventy-fve cents per pound
on all Sumatra wrappers, and that
Sumatra tobacco Is never imported for
other use than wrappers, except where
they wish to evade the law.
s. Arguments were made by other roprs-
Bentatives of both interests. The impor-
tiers ask that tho Department instrument
instruct the appraisers to make the ap.
praisemants in auch manner that the
package instead Of the leaf shall practi-
cally be the unit Of appraisement; that Ii
the package contains less than IS per cent
Of wrappers, the whole bulk shall pay the
lower rate Of duty. The hearing lasted
several hours. Assistant Secretary May
nard took tho question under Amusement
and promised to give It careful and
thorough consideration. 4 5 IKE
